Additional steps if using Windows 2016 Image on AWS

Recently, AWS has changed its metadata script execution behavior, and custom images will not work out-of-box

To execute the scripts while launching the image, the following extra step is required if configuring a Windows 2016 application VM image on AWS.

Go to Control Panel > System and Security > System > Allow Remote Access. Uncheck the check box to Allow connections only from computers running Remote Desktop with Network Level Authentication. This action allows you to RDP into the VM from the CloudCenter UI.

In the file explorer go to C:\Windows\System32\Sysprep. Double click on sysprep. Make sure you choose the options displayed in the image below. Once sysprep is done, your RDP session will terminate

Go to the Azure Management UI and shutdown the application VM image.

After installing the agent, verify the following post-installation information.

If this information remains unverified, be aware that the agent may not be successfully installed.

Ensure that the CliQr Startup Service starts up using the Automatic (Delayed Start) type – if not, set it to Automatic(Delayed Start)
